The colour is deep purples with plenty of deep red, any hints of amber is due to its oak maturation and later bottle age. The aroma is varietal with a complex of berry ripeness with huge intensity reflecting the vintage conditions. Strong lifted aromas of ripe berry and only a very slight hint of pepper, typically the wine shows variety and some smoky oak. The flavour is rich and fruity. A soft and rich middle palate with oak tannin on the finish to balance the fruit flavours. The 2002 is a full bodied style but does show a lot more fruit and body weight on the palate than earlier vintages. (12 x 75 cl)
Spicy, red fruit nose with a palate of generous fruit and soft but structure-lending tannins and fine length: this is a refined style of Shiraz with subtlety, an appealing lightness of touch and tight structure. (12 x 75 cl)
A substantial and multi-dimensional Coonawarra Shiraz which has benefited from two years ageing in American oak. A big, brooding yet well-proportioned red, its sumptuous fruit is well supported by layers of spice and vanilla (12 x 75 cl)
